Dodge’s New Gas Muscle Car Roars Back With Real Exhaust Sounds

Image
The 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack has been caught during a commercial shoot in Detroit. The gas-powered muscle car will arrive later this year and attempt to salvage terrible sales. It’s powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with outputs of 420 hp and 550 hp. The Charger Daytona landed with a thud as Hemi-loving fans turned their back on the overpriced EV. Even after five figure discounts, Dodge only managed to sell 4,299 units in the first six months of the year. Those are terrible numbers, but help is on the way. An electric sedan will arrive in the second half of this year as will the Charger Sixpack . The latter is notable for having a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six developing 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 550 hp (410 kW / 558 PS).

Only One Cadillac May Survive The Shift From Gas To Electric

Image
Cadillac has added a slew of EVs to its range, but is axing several of its ICE models. At the current rate, the Escalade may be Cadillac’s final combustion-powered vehicle. GM is working on plans for the fourth quarter once the federal EV tax credit ends. Cadillac has expanded its electric lineup more than ever, but shifting consumer interest in the States could complicate its all-EV ambitions. As demand for electric vehicles tapers off, the company may need to revisit its goal of becoming an EV-only brand by 2030. The final quarter of this year could be especially challenging, since the federal EVs tax credit is scheduled to end, likely making both new and used electric models less accessible to many buyers. Read: Cadillac Is About To Lose $7,500 Per EV And Still Isn’t Backing Down GM’s flagship brand has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past couple of years. It first launched the all-electric Lyriq SUV and more recently, it’s been followed up by the ele...

These Engines Should Vanish By 2026 But BMW M Has Other Plans

Image
BMW M won’t downsize its engines to meet incoming Euro 7 emissions regs, its CEO says. The brand’s turbocharged inline-six and V8 units will survive, Frank van Meel told journalists. He also said engines wouldn’t be detuned to meet Euro 7 rules coming online in late 2026. Ever-tightening emissions regulations have claimed the lives of multiple great performance engines over the years, including the E92 M3’s S65 V8 . But BMW M’s boss says his company’s current power stations won’t be added to that that list, at least not for a while. M CEO Frank van Meel was discussing the upcoming Euro 7 emissions standards and how they affected M’s engines when he assured Autoca r’s reporter that the brand’s current turbocharged inline-six and V8 engines are safe. That means no power reductions and definitely no downsizing.

Buick Could Drop A Popular Model And Launch Something Smaller And Electric

Image
Buick could offer an electric subcompact crossover before the end of the decade. The Envision might be killed off in America, although that’s not certain at this point. Facelifted and redesigned models are due late this decade including an all-new Encore GX. Buick has been on a roll as second quarter sales soared 19.3 percent and the brand is up 29.2 percent for the year. This follows a successful 2024, which saw sales climb 9.8 percent to hit 183,421 units in the United States. This momentum has been fueled by new and updated models such as the Envista . The crossover starts at $24,600 and has quickly become the brand’s second best-selling vehicle. Review: 2024 Buick Envista Proves Entry-Level Doesn’t Have To Be Boring While the fresh lineup has helped to boost sales, a new report suggests we won’t be seeing much from the brand in the future.
